  • To vote (not vote) for a man because of his race - that's racism!

    You should vote with your mind, not with race, sex, religion etc

    Anyway, Obama and McCain are already bought and payed for. USA had the Ron Paul Chance and blew it(as expected).

  • Get over race...

  • I guess it is not socialism to give out corporate welfare, but cutting taxes for the middle class and not allowing the rich to get richer is socialism. There are many things in society that are socialized: medicare, social security, worker's comp, school lunches, medicaid, prescription drug plans for elderly people all of which you and I benefit. I'm not a socialist. Socialism means the government controls most of the means of production and all banks, schools

  • That is an excuse and I didn't care for Obama-The Republicans lost because Bush was not popular and the Iraq war is not popular.

  • I know what you mean. I'm from Southwestern Virginia between Lynchburg and Roanoke and it is very conservative out here. Virginia has been red for years, but I knew Obama would win Virginia because of these things: the Northern VA suburbs, the Tidewater area (where you are from), Democrat gains in the General Assembly, back to back Democrat governors, 2 Democratic Senators, and a strong black population.

  • I am from Newport News VA. I was shocked to see that VA was blue... :(

  • I just wonder how many of the dead voted for Obama in Virginia. I know the bums probally got three to four votes each in the Hampton Roads, Richmond, and NOVA.

  • Jesus did talk a lot about PERSONAL giving, he never said that Caesar should tax and support the poor. Jesus was all about individual giving and caring for the poor.

    There is a big difference in between selling all your possessions and giving the proceeds to the widows, and governments taking your house and giving it to someone who happened to fill out a form right.

    That's why capitalists give more to charity than socialists because the two sides place responsibility in different places.

  • "Sell all your possessions and give to the poor" "what you do to the least of my brothers you do to me" "cannot serve god and mammon" "easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle" "render unto Caesar" sounds like pretty clear cut socialist values to me.

  • Jesus was what? a socialist? Mind telling me what leads you to that statement?

  • So was Jesus.

  • Obama is a socialist!
